Rental Market

Median Market Rent
$1,935

Note: The relationship between property values and rental rates reflects different market dynamics. Higher-priced properties may have lower rental yields due to factors such as luxury market positioning, owner-occupancy preferences, or long-term appreciation strategies rather than immediate rental income maximization.

Liquidity & Velocity

Median Days on Market
154

Note: A Sale-to-List Ratio near 100% can occur when properties sell at or near their final listing price after price adjustments during the listing period, even when initial listing prices differ significantly from sale prices.


Market Trends & Context

Understanding Market Temperature

A Neutral market indicates balanced conditions where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong advantage, typically characterized by flat price trends, extended but stable days on market, and moderate inventory relative to sales.

Key Findings

  1. The neighborhood's primary valuation benchmark, the median sold price, is not available in the provided dataset, so recent transaction-based valuation is unavailable, and analysis must therefore rely on listing-side metrics and trend signals.

  2. The local pricing snapshot shows a median listing price of 639,000 with a median price per square foot of 260, and the indexed price trend is up, suggesting modest upward pressure on asking prices even though transaction-level sold price confirmation is unavailable.

  3. Market liquidity appears muted: the median days on market of 154 coupled with elevated inventory relative to sales in the sample suggests slower sales velocity and pricing friction; the overall market temperature is neutral, indicating a balanced but cooling environment rather than a strong seller market.

  4. Rental performance is soft relative to last year: the median market rent of 1,935 is paired with a rent year-over-year trend that is down, while interest rate pressure is elevated (elevated), which may constrain investor appetite and prolong time-to-sale for SFR and condo listings.

Key Findings

  1. The report treats the median sold price as the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity; however, because recent sample sales are limited, the reliability of the median sold price as a stable indicator may be reduced.

  2. Sellers are presenting properties around a median listing price of $159,000, while elevated inventory relative to sales and long marketing times suggest pricing friction between asking expectations and closed transactions.

  3. Market velocity is slow: the median days on market is 231 days, which signals slower sales velocity and contributes to elevated inventory relative to sales activity rather than rapid turnover.

  4. Market direction and external pressures are mixed: the price year-over-year trend is up (positive), rent year-over-year trend is down (softening rental demand), the market temperature is neutral (balanced), and interest rate pressure is elevated (headwind), implying buyers may have negotiating leverage despite modest price appreciation.
